Perl Programming Tutorial: VS Code Setup, Scalars, References, and OOP Explained

🚀 This is the first video of the Programming in Perl series. We install the Perl interpreter and configure Visual Studio Code with Code Runner and Better Perl Syntax to run Perl programs directly from the terminal. We start with Hello World and basic execution using VS Code. 🧠 We then explore variables, stack vs heap, references, dereferencing, swaps by value and by reference, and finish with a complete object-oriented example using bless, inheritance, and simulated interfaces in Perl. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction, Course Overview & VS Code Configuration 01:00 Hello World Example 01:50 Stack vs. Heap Variables Example 03:20 Pointer & Reference Equivalence Example 05:00 Swap by Value Example 06:00 Swap by Reference Example 07:00 Object-Oriented Programming Example 09:50 Final Words #Perl #Programming #VSCode #LearnPerl #SoftwareDevelopment
